After leaving Winchester, we headed for Portsmouth. Tom and Bill wanted to see the HMS Victory. Debbie and Lisa visited the shops instead. They even found the Quay Outlet Mall. Tom and Bill toured the HMS Victory and the HMS Warrior. They were very impressed and could have spent a whole day there instead of 2 hours. They saw the spot where Admiral Nelson was mortally wounded at the Battle of Trafalgar. The HMS Warrior was the first iron clad steam assisted sailing ship in the world. The grates in her boilers were manufactured in Coalbrookdale.
